KUALA LUMPUR: A slew of negative data and gloomy outlook for the global economy dragged world stocks into the red on Monday, Sept 5 while the FBM KLCI failed to sustain its rebound from last Friday.
At the close, the FBM KLCI fell 0.74% or 10.97 points to close at 1,463.12, weighed by losses at blue chips including KLK, Petronas-related counters and Genting.
Losers beat gainers by 526 to 210, while 235 counters traded unchanged. Volume was 640.32 million shares valued at RM1.37 billion.
Meanwhile, Asian markets closed sharply lower while European markets opened in the red after China's services sector slowed to a historical low in August, indicating moderating growth in the economic giant.
In Europe, banks were also hit with Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group up to 5.4 percent lower as Credit rating agency Moody's said it was still reviewing several leading British banks for a possible downgrade, according to Reuters.
At the regional markets, South Korea's Kospi tumbled 4.93% to 1,785.83, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell 2.95% to 19,616.40, Taiwan's Taiex lost 2.65% to 7,551.57, Singapore's Straits Times Index down 2.46% to 2,773.17 and Japan's Nikkei 225 fell 1.86% to 8,784.46.
